LITERARY and MISCELLANEOUS MEMOIRS ; by J. CRADOCK, Esq. M.A. F.S.A. London, 1826. A lively, desultory, gossiping book ; rambling " from grave to gay, from lively to severe," with ex ceeding happy effect. Mr. Cradock is, by his own account, an Octogenarian of some eighty-five years standing in the world ; and if, perhaps, he may be considered as advanced a little into his second child hood, the rear will at least have the satisfaction of finding his numerous anecdotes seasoned with all the playful simplicity of childhood. The present volume professes to give some account of a ramble through France, undertaken in company with the author's wife, Mrs. Cradock, to which Lady her husband alludes in every other page, with uxorious and affectionate inte rest. This is really very amiable, and, in the present wicked condition of the world, it calls forth all our be nevolent admiration when we find an elderly gentle man so pensively, yet touchingly, alluding to the sleep ing partnor of his bosom. Among Mr-eradock's numerous anecdotes, we se lect at random a few, for the reader's perusal. To those who remember, or have heard of, the late Sir W. Fawcett, the favourite of George 111., the present ex tract will be amusing : It is somewhat lamentable for me to relate, that of all those whom I have denominated es of our party at Paris, not one sur vives but Colonel Fawcett*, the son of Sir William Fawcett, K.B. who was Aide-de-camp to the late King George the Third, and greatly respected by his Majesty. He was a native of Ha nover and always so much entrusted, that Lord North has freely declared, " that he knew much more of the King's estates and private affairs at Hanover, than ever he did." Col. Fawcett was early of the Guards, a pleasant facetious companion; but he could be serious ; for when he took leave of America, he wrote a very feeling poem on the occasion, which was admir e d and pre served by Dr. Goldsmith. He was frequently at onr apartments at Paris, where he met with his father's old friend, Mr. Metcalfe, of Suffolk, who never spared the Colonel's eccentricities. The Colonel, however, generally rallied and blunted the edge of his reproofs, by replying, " Well, well, Mr. Metcalfe, I hear all you say, and know all you would infer ; my father certainly was a very excellent man ; and, I believe, in every respect he was al lowed to be the reverse of me." Within these few years, the Colonel's son, Major Fawcett, paid me a very unexpected visit in Leicestershire. He was quite a stranger, and brought a most kind message from his father, to say, that though we might never meet again, yet he should always retain for me the most kind re membrance. lie then mentioned that his father was at Wey mouth, but would soon return to Bath, and that he still pos sessed, undisturbed, the 'valuable appointment of being Governor of Limerick; but he proceeded rather more to surprise me by in forming me, that he himself was about to be married immediately to a ,young widow in my neighbourhood, Mrs. Knox, of Carleton wbo would then entirely give up the place, where her late husband had resided. The nuptials very soon took plate, and the family not long afterwards favoured me with a visit at my bottle at Gumley. The Major and his lady remained for a while with her family in Northamptonshire, and then made an excur sion to the Continent ; and, on their return, I have to recount a most mournful occurrence. At her father's house near Har borough, an epidemic complaint took place, and almost on the same day, four of the family died, and I heard the bell toll dur ing a whole morning to announce the dreadful ceremonial of their funerals, whilst I was preparing to exchange my bleak situa tion in Leiceetershire for some surgical aid, anti a more ehel tered retirement, though in the near neighbourhood of London. Every one has heard of Itaro, but few know the circumstances that attended its first representation a Paris. The Comedy of Figaro was first acted in April 1784. It had been pri‘ stilly read at Versailles ; and their Majesties soon per ceived the real tendency of it. Some danger was apprehended from bringing it out on the stage at that time ; but Beaumar chais was greatly patronised, and could nut bear to hear even of a temporary delay. Never was any play certainly better acted ; for every character was exactly suited to each performer ; and it was most rapturously applauded by the public. Figaro fans, Figaro ribbons, and even Figaro nightcaps generally prevailed, till the good Archbishop of Paris began to be seriously alarmed, and in a Mandentent on the .abject strongly expressed his high displeasure. The. tritunphant Aristophanes, however, not only laughed at the Mandement, but turned it into verse, and caused it to be sung about the Palais Royale, as a ballad. The con scientious Archbishop then threatened to resign ; but to appease his wrath for a while, the play was stopped, and Beaumarchais, fora day or two, was sent to the St. Lyme, which is the Whip ping-house at Paris ; . there he remained (not much hurt, it was believed), and on his release, the carriages to convey company or cards of congratulation to him, rendered one of the longest streets of Paris for some time all but impassable. A general tumult was now apprehended : and to appease an intemperate multitude, the Comedy was again revived. The crowd assembled was un bounded ; and so tremendous was the struggle for admittance, that two or three persons were trod to death in the street which led immediately to the entrance of the theatre. The English are but little acquainted with the genuine Comedy of Figaro.t For Spain, you are to read, France ; and in the corrupt Judge, Bri d'oison, you are intended to recognize all the Authorities of the Kingdom. In England, even the intriguing characters come be fore us as subdued, and discreetly attired • we taste nothing of similarity in the cha s te di a l ogue o f the Play, either to Love for Lore, or the Old Bachelor ; the whole passes through a correct medium, and we sit enraptured with a performance embellished with the music of some of our'own best composers, 9r w ith the fashionable harmonies of Mozart or Rossini. We give the folldwing four lines, simply from their poetic beauty " Upon her lips, The holy Dew of Prayer lay like pearl, Dropp'd from the opening eye-lids of the Morn, Upon the bashful Mee • Major-General William Fawcett, now Governor of Lime rick, and the senior Major-General in the Army, was appointed Ensign iu the Third Foot Guards, July 2, 1769 ; Captain and Lieut.-Colonel, Sept. 18, 1779 ; Colonel in the Army, Nov. 18, 1'790 ; and Major-General, Oct. 3, 1794. His rank is sta tionary, and he has been on half-pay since 1783. t Those who wish to be more informed, may purchase an edition, published at Paris, with a long sneering Preface in the year 1785, by Mons. De Beaumarchais.

MEETING of the INHABITANTS of VINTRY WARD. Yesterday, in consequence of the death of Mr. Alder man Maguey, a Meeting of the inhabitants of Vintry Ward was held, to consider of the best person to fill the situation of Alderman, which has become vacant froth that circum stance. The Meeting . was convened by the Common Councilmen of the Ward, and Mr. Deputy WHITBY took the Chair. There were, at one time, as many as seven Candidates in the field. Mr. Chapman Marshall, one of the most respectable inhabitants, had been proposed on Saturday, and his success was considered almost certain, but a letter was received from him yesterday, declining the honour which had been sought for him by his friends, without his knowledge or consent. Mr. Deputy Whitby, another inhabitant, was also pro posed with high expectations, but he also declined the honour. The candidates who now appeared were, there fore, Mr. Crook, Solicitor, Mr. Wilde, (the brother of Mr. Serjeant Wilde), also a Solicitor, and inhabitant s pf ,the Ward : he rent Under .She r i ff during the late shistial!,y. Mr. Ex-Sheriff Kelly, the bookseller, also appeared with the present Sheriff, Winchester, the stationer, as candi dates. Mr. Bleaden the proprietor of the London Tavern, and also of the king's Head, Poultry, was in vited by a numerous party in the Ward. • The CH AIRMAN , i n open i ng t h e b us i ness o f t h e day, dwelt on the necessity, from the increasing importance of the duties belonging to the office, that they should select one who had considerable time to devote to it; who lived at no great distance, and who, being fully competent in point of ability,•was fully accessible. Mr. DICKEY, in proposing Mr. Sheriff Winchester as a proper person to fill the vacant situation, spoke of the sa-' tisfactory manner in which he bad hitherto proceeded in the office of Sheriff, as earnest of his competency to fill the situation of Alderman. lie had 'ability, which he had already shewn, property, respectability, and leisure, to de vote to their service. Mr. nitres seconded the nomination. Mr. WILSON proposed Mr. Kelly, the Ex-Sheriff, on grounds similar to those on which Mr. Sheriff Winchester had been proposed. Mr. WRIGHT proposed. Mr. Wylde, the Solicitor, as a gentleman, who, from his great professional abilities, his activity, respectability, and his residence amongst them, was peculiarly qualified to discharge the Magisterial and other duties of the situation. He stated, that Mr. Sheriff Winchester had, in his first Address to the inhabitants, declared, that he cams forward only because he saw no respectable-inhabitant ready to come forward. Yet he per sisted, though Mr. Wylde and another Gentleman came forward, who were inhabitants. Would he question their respectability ? • Mr. WINCHESTER said, he should not have conic for ward, had any respectable inhabitant, in the first instance, voluntarily presented himself. He did not now, however, at this time, after the manner in which he had been received, think himself justified in retiring. promised, as we understood him, to take a house in th e W ar d, an d li re amongst the inhabitants, in the event of his being chosen their Representative. Mr. Ex-Sheriff KELLT expressed his determination to take' the sense of the inhabitants by a poll. Mr. WYCHE, in a spirited address, declared his intention of taking the, votes of his fellow-inhabitants. Mr. CROON here came I,r*ard, and avowed himself candidate. Ilia friends had not thought the formality o f a mover and seccmder necessary at this meeting, which possessed no official character. He expressed his surprise at the conduct of Mr. Wilson, who, after urging him (Mr. Crook) zealously to come forward, now appeared as the proposer of a candidate, who was an alien to the Ward.---s The encouragement be hsd received was such as to call upon him to proceed. Mr. BLEADEN now came forward, and said he had been invited by a number of the most respectable inhabitants to offer himself as a candidate. He consented to come for ward and solicit the honour, provided no respectable in habitant offered himself. Now, he saw two inhabitants, to whose respectability he could bear testimony, come for ward, be thought it his duty to withdraw.—(Applause.) There appearing to be no probability that any resolu tions would be agreed to, the meeting, after thanks had been voted to the Chairman, separated, to prepare for the contest; the candidates being declared to be—Messes, Winchester, Wylde, Crook, and Kelly. In announcing the arrival of his Majesty's ship Sybille, Captain Sir S. J. Pedal!, Bart. from the Mediterranean, we have satisfaction in alluding to the high perfection to which naval gunnery has been' Carried, both in that ship and in the Naiad, Captain the Honill. C. Spencer, lately from the same station, between which two vessels there has always existed an honourable rivalry, highly creditable to the officers of both ships; and it is with great satisfaction we learn, that during the trials of skill which they have had together, under very competent judges, no artillery on shore could exceed their accuracy and precision. It must be gratifying to the lovers of our country and our coun try's bulwarks to k now , th a t i n the s e "piping ti zealous and scientific officers are found, who, during a short o m f es ever of r r pe riod of command, an d w ith scarce ly the Peesibilit Y bring ingPaee their superior gunnery into play against au enemy, or of its ever being known beyond the limits of their ships, spare no pains nor exertions to excel in a department of such vital importance, which has hitherto been much neglected, and which still appears to many in command not worth the trouble, if it could be attain ed, during a triennial service. Probably we may be permitted to recommend young officers to make themselves familiar with the detail of discipline and internal economy, as well as gunnery, of these two well-organized ships, which we can safely say, from every thing that has tome to our knowledge, have never been ex ceeded in the best periods of our naval annals; and this too has been attained by a system of lenienc3 and indulgence to the men, which is usually considered incompatible with the high condition in which those best acquainted with their order allow them to excel.-41ampshire Tdegraph. AWFUL NA aztATI vz.—The following interesting account is given by the late Dr. Currie, of Liverpool, in a letter to Sir Walter Scott, when Editor several years ago of ‘, the Minstrelsy of the' Scottish Border." It has 'hardly a parallel, in its , k , ined:—eto r i I o t n was ce n in ig m ht y , early days," says Dr. Currie, hard I could not see) a traveller, not i n t h e Annan itielf, but in the frith of Solway, close by the mouth of that river.

The west wind blew a tempest, and, according to the common expression, brought in the water three feet abreast. The traveller got upon a stand i ng net a l ittle way fro m th e s h ore . There he lashed himself to the post, shouting for half an hour for assistance, till the tide rose over his head! In the darkness of night, and amidst the pauses of the h urricane, his voice, heard atintervals, was exquisitely mournful. No one could go to his assistance,.—no one knew where he was ;--'L the sound seemed to proceed from the spirit of the waters. But morning rose,--the tide had ebbed, — and the poor traveller 'vasfot l in i d nd.'— las ' he' l l t t i o s h t a h rd P l e y ol c e Ot of t! the net, and ble ac hi ng in the v ceivable that any incident ever occurr e d b etter calcu lated to excite the strongest synipithies in human , beings ; and it is t o ld in a mann er an d with a brev i ty and feeling that could not be improved. MANORIAL bINNER AT OLASTONBURY. (FROU A conitEsrcnitAT.) After Mr. Hunt dissolved his Court as LtAd.of the Manor of Glastonbury, he entertained a party of his hien& and tenants at the White Hart Inn. He had on that nicirningi to use his own words, shot every dish on the table, except the beef; inuttoni cabbage, and potatoes. When the cloth was removed, Mi.. Ifenr prerosed the " Health of the King," which was enthusiastically drunt. Mr. SHZLLIBEER then rose to propose "The health of the Lord of the Manor of Glastonbury, the able representative of our Sovereign Lord the King." He hoped that Mr. Hunt would long act as the representative of George IV., and that he would perform the duties likewise for succeeding Kings. Great had been The adversity of the person who now occupied the attention of the company, and great had been the services which be had rendered to the country, for which he ought to have been return ed to Parliament, for he had pulled the mask from the fates of the unpaid Magistracy, he had lowered th e coun ty ra t es i n the course of one yearfrom 28,000/. to 8,0001., he had mothfleeLthe scale of human millet-Y. in the, county gaol, he had,. be-feitte4orned 'the whole county system upside down, and he had turned the county prison inside out.—(Applause.)—ln case of another election, which it was sincerely hoped would not take place before the usual time, there could be no doubt of the return of the man who had taught the people of Somersetshire the Way In which tobrave the menaces of the Aristocracy--a lesson which would be of great practical advantage. Mr. OLIVIA Havwann—The farmers of Somerset now are rightly appreciating Mr. Hunt's exertions in favour of the poor slaves who tremble at the sound of the Landowners' names: The Landowners are now afraid to move, for they know that Mr. Hunt would think nothing of driving a couple of hundred miles to defeat their contemptible schemes. They would just as soon see the devil as see him, and see him they will, whenever they provoke him by new invasions upon the public liberty. Mr. flue T—l cannot, my friends, express my thanks to yon for the honour you have intended to me by associating my name with his Majesty. What! I, who have been represented as a Jacobin, as the arch enemy to social order, 1 to be associated with the King, in the wish you have just breathed ! It really places me in a difficulty which it is impossible for me to give expression to—(a laugh). It has been said that I performed sonic services to the country while in &heater gaol. 'Whatever those services might be, I flatter myself that the people of this country believe that I was sincere in my endeavours ; and I believe, too, they agree with me, that there is an impending danger which it will be necessary to use all our efforts to avert. With regard to the Court which 1 held this day, as it was my duty to do, I have, I trust, performed that duty in such a manner as not to degrade him whom I came here to represent, and whose authority I have but this moment laid aside--(a laugh). You must all have dia . covered that the institution of the Court Leet is a system of per fect'bliss, compared with some of those schemes which disgrace modern legislation, and give a shock to the very principles of justice, although it was designed in the feudal times. The Court Leet of Glastonbury is, perhaps one of the most importaut and interesting of courts of the kind, from the great extent of the manor, and the peculiar nature of the privileges of those who are appointed to fill the offices. From the days of Alfred, down to those of Edward 111. the people were in the habit, not only of electing Constables, but Sheriffs and Magistrates, and Members of Parliament, in the Court Leets. That power has been since limited to the election of petty officers, and with the change came all the disadvantages of the present system. 'There has been some allusion to the contest for the county of Somerset. 1 may truly say that nine-tenths of those who voted upon that occasion would, if they had been left to their uncontrouled will, have voted for me. Mr. Otis.a waen—That I solemnly declare is the case. I have spoken to numbers of those who wore the badges of Loh,- bridge and Dickensian, and I know that it was with heavy hearts they went up to the." scratch" to vote against you.—(4 laugh.) Mr. litrwr—l aca one of those who think that property and birth ought to have a high rank in society; but I sum also of api.. nion that they must be associated with virtue, before they can assert their claim.---(Cheers.)--Now you, the people of Somerset have elected Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Dickenson, when I offered myself, and gave you an opportunity to rescue yourselves from the disgraceful imputation of being entirely led by the nose. Their influence, however, gained their point. Five to one came to vete for the present Members, and they were therefore fairly elected. A Paustea:—l know that numbers, who prhately acknow ledged the extent and value of your services, voted against you, because they were compelled to do so, as they were afraid of the inside of a pen. Mr. Httwx.—l consider that the election of those gentlemen has been a fair one; but mark my words : if this Parliament should last seven years, neither of them will ever perform one act serviceable to the country. (A laugh.) Now look at Sir T. Lethbridge not only as a Legislator, but as a Magistrate and a private individual. He is the advocate of the Corn Laws. Never, upon any occasion, did he attempt to oppose Ministers, until, by a singular liberality, they trenched upon hi s p rerogat i ve of h i g h price. He then rushed violently into the character of a Radical, and remained in that position until he saw things coming round again. (A laugh !) Sir Thomas Lethbridge, as won as he found that the price of Corn had again got up to the aristocratic price, laid aside the white hat which he used to be twirling in the face of Ministers, and said, that he was perfectly satisfied with the Corn Laws, and no longer a Radical. (Laughter.) Mr. liawimis (one of Mr. Hunt's tenants)—No man is better entitled to blame the conduct of those who refused to lower the rents of the poor farmers than you are. I can bear testimony to that. I hold your lagest farm in this manor. I had it from you originally at upwards ofBoo/. a year. The price of corn fell, and the first hint I received, from which I concluded that my rent would be proportioned to the fall, was from yourself. You low ered my rent 100/. ayear without any application upon my pail. —(Loud cheers.) Mr. Hun—Look now at Colonel Dickenson. Did be ever lower his rents ? Never. I heard of a tenant of his, who had lost upwards of 900/. by the visitation of a hail storm. He was a very respectable man, and bad .a large family. Did that man ever receive a shilling of abatement ? • Never. I have here been speak ing of two men, who were sent to Parliament in preference to me, who hare, been the repreaentative of Majesty to-day—(Laugh ter.)—During the election it was my duty to send about hand bills relating to the county rates. You know the abuse that was heaped upon inc. I went upon what I conceived to he the firmest ground, and charged some individuals with having received many thousands more than they accounted for. This intelligence, which had been considerably strengths d by a letter which I received, has, I find upon examination, been inaccurate, and I here notice the circumstance, not from respect to Mr. llfcssiter, but from , common justice to the country, to him, and to myself—(Loud chem.) [Mr. Hunt hero read a letter whirls, he said, that he had dee patched to Mr. Messiter, apologising for his statement of that gentleman's peculation at the late election, and also another letter (received while in &theater jail) on whirls he (Mr. Hunt) h a d founded his charge.] Mr. Iforr.—Now a Member for A neighbouring County ha s acted •Ri on the plan of Sir Thomas Lethbridge so decidedly, that . it would appear as if th e y h a d acted in concert. " Naontaacfarer,thlin:e,n" idhe, 44 will I lower your rents, but I'll take the farmaAonffdyotitiler hands." This Worthy Member got into the company of a young fellow who wanted a farm, and taking him up the hill, as 014 Ni c k did of old, to tempt (a laugh), pointed out to him some i t land eiasandreallfayvonuottedwhoimrthwhialthf i t t t actrotwwn—elveasshiyllior could not get so wmour c t h hy grass off it as would cover a scythe (laughter). landlord afterwards admitted that he would, whenever he could, prevail upon'the fools to become his tenants, upon the highest terms possible (loud laughter). Those are the men who are sticklers for the Corn Laws. Could I be suspected of barbe -1 city of this sort ? I do not allude to what Mr. Hawkins has said, from any pride of comparison ; I lowered his rent, and the recta of m y other tenants, from a sense of justice, and I mention it because I wish to show you that I don't preach what I don't practise (loud cheers). I do not, hard-hearted, like Cobbett, sentence peolile to damnation, because they won't return me to Pitattilient. ,-- That worthy' passed the severest judgment on thou' who would not buy his Register (laughter). I have 00 keliug of the kind. 1 wish to see those happy who are the victims of delusion or fear, or who •owe' their distresses to things over which they might have exercised a controul.—(cher,o_i told the farmers, that if they would not stand up for their rights, they must suffer, but I do exult in the accuracy of the lamentable prognostic.--(Repeated (sheers).—They owe much of the misdi rection of their views to the contemptible county press which , teemed to select statements the most und e ni a bl e as most deserving of ci.ifeadiction. In the case at Andover, whose confirmation was given hiff_ that of the very man who drew up the Resolutions which I paused toi h rejected.—(A laugh)? A very polite loan, to be sure, but a man at little disposed as any man in England to compliment on an article which recorded his own misfortune. —(Laughter).---The county press also condemned the partiality of the reports of the Somersetshire Election, but in the name of , Cod, Who de you think gave the lie to that accusation ? Why, no other pereuri than Sir Thomas Lethbridge himself.—(A laugh)! The Worthy Baronet was To satisfied that u much attention was paid to the goose as to the gander, that he declared to his Consti tuents, in that caricature of rewspapers The Nero Times, or its prototype The Courier, that his admiration of the London Press would have been considerably heightened upon the occasion, were it not for:the attacks which were so uuneecessarily made upon that respectable body of gentlemen—the attorney s.--(Loud laughter). Mr. OLlven wAno—Well, I shall never forget the gen tlemen attorneys who were at Ilchestcr. How they looked about for libeht.—(A laugh). • Mr. Iluter—You observed, &Him Common Hall, how we were all on the same ride, like Lord Trumore's pigs—how those who used formerly to cry otrt against one as an incendiary, hurstNed their politeness upon me! You saw that I could talk, con asnere, of dear Pitt and Castlereagh withont hearing a single hiss, This shows a strange alteration in the spirit of the time.. But,the Corporation of London is a most extraordinary monster. It has, amongst its other vices, those of guttling and peeling in perfec tion—(Laughter)-4-and it gratifies those favourite propensities in spite of exposure and exportolation. There is amongst the funds which daily cram this monster (the Corporation), the Orpheus' Fund. The various Committees contrive to replete their enter tainments so well, that they guttle and guzzle together every day, and the poor orphan is the victim of those plethoric orna ments of the City.-- , (Loud laughter.)—l thought yonlnew no thing of our Corporation in London, although You seem to know something about the amiable grotistnen who form the Corpora tion here. Mr. llAywAs.D—We have heard something about the London gentry of (luihlhall. 1 think, however, that all corporations look to their bellies. Mr. Hui:T.—The very word indicates the nature of the em ployment of my friends the Aldermen, and the rest of them.— (Laugliter.)—l dare say you have heard of the expences which the people are put to now in building a palace. I would not refer to this subject now, but that I perceive two most extraordinary items in the accounts of his Majesty's rising residence. One of them is 13,0001. for out-houses of a certain description, and the ether is 6,000/. for an out-house of the very same kind.—(A lanh.)—l must not be very particular in my description, but I must declare, that at such a time the erection of insignificant offices of this kind is extremely preposterous. What Will the native of "meet Edinburgh" say to this? What will Sawney lay when be finds that the sum of 19,000/. is expended in apparatus which hchsa always held in sovereign contempt..--(Loud laughter.)-.4 da not by any means deny splendid palaces. Kings ought to have thee,. I speak with profound deference, as the representative of Majesty; but Kings ought to have them in proper places; but who would think of erecting a grand abode at the corner of Tothill-street.— filthy Totbill-street.—(Laughter.)—l now speak of the deplo rable want of taste, but I think that this fondness for building palaces in the dirt is an hereditary intirmity.:l know that George the Third built a palace which overlooked the backs of the wretch ed houses of the filthiest part of Brentford.—(Laughter.)—Gotl knows what it is—perhaps it arises flan the idea of contrast— magnificence and 11 - Ind.—(Afore laughter.)—But I find the name of Alexander Baring in the list of Oniuissionets. Oh ! when ll want to have say queer job done, clap me a Whig into it, and it is sure to flourish. This is just the man who is ISt to work in Tothill-street. Who that ever saw his hospital Oa house in Pic cadilly, would ever think of employing him anywhere but amongst the mud-larks..-:-.(Loud laughter.)--I hope, Gentlemen, yon do, not suppose, that because I represent Majesty here, I Lowe a taster of the sort I have beets describing. I have no indeed. • I con demo the taste as well as the feeling that dictated the building of palaces in the obsurity of Tuthill-fields, and amidst the tears end groans of the disconsolate.—(Loud and long-continued cheers.) Mr. MINT then proposed the " health of Mr. 0. Hayward," who had thrown up his commission in the Somerset Yeomanry, upon observing the persecution going forward in Daiwa gaol, and but for whose indefatigable friendship, he (Mr. Hunt) would be most probably in another world—(cheers). Mr. Havre.* an, in a very manly speech, returned thanks. He took occasion to reprobate the conduct of the evangelical tribe at Yeovil, who were in the habit of selling Bibles, which cost them Is. 6d. a piece, for 6r. to the poor, and who encouraged those who went, to vote for Mr. Hunt to vote against their consciences. The company retired Wore eleven o'clock, after very great enjoyment. DREADFUL CONSEQUENCE OF MAKING NUT TING A CRIME.---A few weeks ago we mentioned the cases of several men, women, and ,children wh o i n different parts of th e kingdom were committed to prison for only gathering a few nuts. We stated our abhorrence of such proceedings, and pointed out the baneful effects likely to arise from making Nutting a Crime ; we did not, however, expect so fatal a result as the following detail shows. One man has lost his life, and another is in great danger, about a few paltry nuts.—Mancheater Gazette. A little girl, aged eight years, daughter of Mr. Hulse, in Park -street, died on Tuesday evening.— She had been bitten by a dog belonging to Mrs. Samuels, in Rutland -street, which, we are told, has before bitten several other persons. The animal is Still alive, and displays no symptoms of hydrophobia, but the bite had such an effect upon the mind and body of the child as to cause her death as aforesaid ! --As soon as she had been bitten in the street, she ca e i l n e ein ‘ivn a udunwd s h t le a via t l e of s,tlal ei h l n d • l e i a : t y(l)( a tit ia llp r vl i aa n si , s n ea( lewed her arm pii pain in pl o i f ed a to the chest, the heart was found to palpitate violently. It is now a month since she was bitten ; she became very ill in a week after, and delirium came on, which never e f r u e b a c t r h, re t e l u n v ni e g r ; i e , ed the sli g ht est h ope of success. b le y ft th h e er fa t e a u l b ut ve r s t y l et e m ,e re r e a lu n i l e i s i ve c w t r a a ipes e u : persons being bitten by dogs have come to our know ledge this week ; one is the case of Miss Tompkin, daughter of Mr • Tompkin, Pialianumt-street, who, as she wa s wa lki ng in the public street, was bitten by a dog that met her. The ;. e arful anxieties which /such a circumstance occasions, we have no need to depict ; in total uncertainty as to the state of the dog, and fearing the worst, a has had the part cut out, and the flesh cauterized. It is therefore quite obvious, that the order of the Magistrates to keep all dogs tied up, was absolutely necessary, and we only regret that it is not better attended to. While perambulating at liberty, and we met many dog s the streets' yesterday, nothing e ffectual will be done, till the Magistrates compsicomps I the constables to do th eir duty. F ive d ogs • I e n taken to the puff& on Mond ay, but we have not Lint that any others were killed, and in the name of our fellow-townemeo, we call upon the Magistrates to see that all dogs roaming the streets unmuzzled shall be destroyed. We understand that in France, clog s found at large, and =nuzzled, are destroyed at once, and we are sure, that in this country, the canine race is much more numerous.—Nottingham Review.
